The one friend is God who lives within you. In word meaning you... There is no one to the end. That's a myth. It's a choice. You were made for you. No disrespect to lovers but trust a man who gave it all to multiple hearts. When it's you or them. They choose themselves

The 70s and 80s were magical music eras. Some of the best singers and musicians existed in that time zone. The level of creativity and collaborations were in a time capsule of magical spiritual ecstasy that infiltrates the mind body and soul. Some have attempted to imitate it but it has never been fully replicated it's time capsule remains the keeper of the magic.
